Vodafone Home Broadband Reviews

Absolutely appalling service. Signed up last September (2019) all was well until January (2020) then the service went downhill. I was guaranteed a speed of 25Mps, mostly it was nowhere near that speed. It finally dropped to about 8 or 9 MBps at which point I raised a complaint. For almost 2 months I had to go through the routine of proving that it was not the connection inside my home that was the issue. Numerous times I had to disconnect everything from the internet and then switch off my router and re-connect everything. Only to show that the issue was not at my end. They finally resolved the issue in May by moving me to a less congested line (their explanation). All was well for ab out a month and then the speeds dropped again to around 8 or 9 Mbps. I telephoned to complain and refused to go through the process of disconnecting everything just to prove the issue was not at my end. I sent them screen shots of the speeds I was getting through a wired connection direct to the router. Their response was that they had checked the line and I was getting 40MBps sync speed, suggesting once again the issue was at my end. How could I get 40Mbps (this is the speed that is constantly displayed on their Broadband app even when the internet speed test was showing 8Mbps). How could I achieve that speed when the internet speed test was showing between 8 and 9 Mbps. There service is really bad and I would not touch them again. I have asked numerous times to be allowed to cancel my contract as they are not delivering any where near the speeds I am supposed to be guaranteed. Each time I ask to cancel they ignore my request. When the contract is up in September (2020) I will be moving to another supplier.

Just waiting for my contract to end so i never have to use Vodafone again. Reliability of the network is shocking. DO NOT USE.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

I was attracted by the cheaper price than BT. So arranged for Home Broadband. Like others, the broadband box arrived and all looked fine. But on the day of transfer - nothing happened!

I spent the best part of 2 hours on the chat with them, they 100% guaranteed they had transferred and the issue was mine. Fed up, I phoned BT, guess what - no transfer had occurred!

Annoyed, I phone to cancel my order. Vodafone promise to do so. Guess what? - they didn't cancel and then charged me the first month!

Was on chat with them for 2 hours to get my money back - having asked for a superior, they then chucked me of chat. I then couldn't get back on. I am now left with the account not closed, paying for something I cancelled and with no ability to get my money back.

DO NOT USE! DO NOT BE TEMPTED! WORST BROADBAND EVER!

The "superfast" 2 here has never managed to exceed 20.6Mbs since the day it was connected. It keeps going extremely slowly often dropping to 13Mbs. Online chat requests for help are fobbed off and formal complaints get ignored, OFCOM is the next resort. Frankly they are miss-selling a service they can't deliver and don't seem to care.

their service is the worst ever. Drops out all the time. Have to change channels. Once you get your box etc its past the 14 days when you can cancel so your stuck in your contract. Good speeds when working

Vodaphone broadband rates highly in testing your level of sanity and frustration!
I was left without broadband for 13 days, each time I called I was promised It would be fixed within 24 hours. Each time I contacted the team I spent 40 minutes trying to resolve the issue. Their approach seemed to be was to blame the last person who I dealt with! During a time when we are all working from home - 13 days is unacceptable to be without internet! I was given 4 different fault reasons to which it ended up being something completely different! The complaints department were not interested in the suggestions I was making in order to improve their customer service. I had to argue to get my 13 days refunded to me - on another 30 minute phone call.
Come on vodaphone you need to change! This service is not acceptable!

AVOID! Moved away from Virgin due to high cost, thought I would try VF Broadband (big mistake) - when it works the speeds etc are hit and miss at best, however I have had the service for 2 months and it constantly drops throughout the day and continues to do it; I have spoken to their tech support (if you can call it support) but just get the runaround. I rely on this service, like most these days, for home working I have had to reinstate Virgin Media. I raised a complaint against them which again just got farmed around. Their customer service is woeful they make you trudge through the mire of their L1 outsourced service hoping you get bored and give up.

Rubbish. Dont get

Absolute rubbisbh. Id take virgin or even sky over broadband easily. Utterly rubbish internet. It says theres internet and wifi but i cant connect to anything complete f-ing sh*te broadband.

Went from talk talk to Vodafone after getting pestered by them and saying how good it is. I’m 32 years old with ms so spend a lot of time watching tv in my room. It’s okish during the day but after 4 to 5 o’clock onward can’t watch tv with buffering. Try to get through to speak to them and get that tobi annoying wee thing. 1.2 download every night. Shocking and will be advising anyone who asks not to go near them.

Disaster - not worth the cost-saving in any way shape or form. Such regret.

Still without broadband over a week after the activation date. We have called Vodafone daily and their customer service have not been helpful at all. There is no record of our issues or contact history and each day we are told an engineer will be fixing the issue within the next day and they will call back. Not yet fixed and no calls back. We have already now switched to virgin media and will cancel our contract.

I concur with the previous complaints. I will be leaving Vodafone as soon as I can .
No other company can be worse.

i have switched over from sky to vodafone and so far not bad apart from my speed goes up and down but works ok.i left sky because there internet keep cutting of and my kids on there xbox getting disconnected not happy to say.anyway vodafone is ok i think the problem is BT they mess up your line.so far out of 5 for vodafone be 4 if the customer service helped me more instead of saying this and that and nothing done about the speed up and down i would give the a full 5 star..

Do not use this Company, they are terrible, never before in my 66 years of life have I been so frustrated with any Company, they should not be allowed to trade.
I cancelled my contract after 1 week, now I am trying to get my money back, stay clear if you want something which works.

Do NOT under any circumstances buy broadband from Vodafone EVER. To my mind, they are a fraudulent organisation that does not operate honestly. There’s a reason they come at the BOTTOM of every customer satisfaction survey.

Do NOT be seduced by any “deals” as these are illusory and it will take you YEARS to fix and problems. Just walk away immediately. Vodafone are woefully ill equipped to deal with even the SLIGHTEST issue. Call center staff are naturally useless, but all the head office staff are illiterate idiots also. You won’t get a simple answer out of ANY of them. The culture at Vodafone is very much one of “lie, deny, and do nothing” which is something that as a paying customer you can do without. That comes from the top down. The CEO is an absolute joke and their “executive relations” team may as well be a bunch of interns for all the good they are.

PLEASE do not use Vodafone but literally any other phone or broadband provider. You have been warned. I can provide details and correspondence to back up everything I say. Keep away. Dealing with Vodafone can seriously damage your health.

1.6mbs download when it works.
Not good at all

Vodafone is an absolute disgrace to society and practically false advertise their speeds which they offer and have bad support processes in place.

There support team is absolutely shocking as tickets are closed without clarification from the end customer that the issue has been resolved.

You are told that the issue will be resolved within the next 3 days, which then turns into an 8 day and I still have no confidence in that they will resolve the issue as this issue has been going for over a month.

I would never recommend Vodafone as the customer is mislead all the time.

Kind Regards

had diffiulty accessing my account, it needed vodaphone assitance - two long days of incompetence . it needed a text code - they were refusing to send to my BT landline - my BT landline can send and receive texts no problems Vodaphone doesnt recognise this - only acknowledges and pushes there own product

I cut and pasted there own legal stuff re sending text for access code to a landline phone - I send it back through chat to the numskulls - still didnt click

inbred - internal viewing service advisers - do notknow anything about there own products - there own statements - but only there own products and no other exists

wont be renewing my Vodaphone accounty when it expires - they are incompetent

One word be away from them. My internet was meant to be active on 8th of july. Engineer came and said can’t do because he is not multi skilled. So i thought can wait for more 2 days will someone came and everything will be sorted soon but no everyday i have to call them and hear only one thing till midnight it will be active. Its been 29th of july i m still waiting for my internet. Everytime new excuse. I will say just stay away from them. I have lost my whole business due to them can’t do anything without internet. If there was option i could give -5 stars.
